Zhang Yan stood in the cave abode with his hands behind his back, looking at the stone wall in front of him. It was obvious that it was filled with densely packed words. These were all the notes of the predecessors from the Shaoqing Green Jade Scroll.
Due to the lack of time previously, he only glanced at it briefly and memorized it. He didn't study it in detail. Now, he could look at it in detail and compare it with the spell he had read so that he could learn from the strong points to make up for the weak points.
It was just that after looking through it, he realized that among all the notes left behind by the Daoist Grotto-Heaven, four-fifths of them were directed towards the Dao path of splitting thousands of sword-lights.
He nodded. This method was indeed the right path. Once it was cultivated to a deep level, the vast sword aura would be unleashed. If the opponent didn't have any powerful methods, they wouldn't be able to fight against it head-on.
As for the remaining few, most of them used the Dao of Sword Formation.
It was just that this method was extremely difficult to cultivate. It required the cultivator to be proficient in the Dao of Formations. Moreover, there were only a few formations that could be set up. Once they fought with others, they would have to think of a way to change it. Otherwise, if they were seen through by others, they would be at the mercy of others.
Zhang Yan's eyes were sharp. He could see that there was actually a huge flaw in this method. After the cultivator set up the formation, not only would it consume a lot of magic power, it would also lose the advantage of the sword escaping freely. It was fine to use it once or twice, but once the opponent was on guard, it would be easy to be tricked.
However, he also understood that since he could see this, the Daoist Grotto-Heaven wouldn't ignore it either. They would definitely think of ways to make up for their shortcomings.
However, in this way, compared to those cultivators who studied the Dao of Sword Formation and had no distractions, they were left behind.
He thought for a while and looked at the Dao of Sword Formation that had the least number of people. This was an unorthodox method of incorporating it into the sword. There was no reference, so its might couldn't be estimated.
However, in the notes of these seniors, they all mentioned that it was difficult to go through splitting the sword-lights, and they weren't proficient in formations, so they turned to this method. Looking at it that way … If following the right path was the superior method, and the sword formation was the intermediate method, then this method was considered to be the inferior method.
Zhang Yan thought about it carefully, then shook his head. He didn't see it that way. A technique that could be used by Daoist Dongtian alone. Both were extremely difficult to find in the outside world. The problem was not the cultivation technique, but whether it was suitable for him or not.
The people of the Shaoqing Sect spent their entire lives studying swordsmanship. They focused on swordsmanship and supplemented it with other methods. Thus, both their offensive and defensive Daos revolved around the Flying Sword Technique, and this was what they were most proficient in.
However, he was not a swordsman who only believed in the sword. He could not accommodate the swordsmanship. Instead, he had to find a way to make it his own.
Apart from that, he had another reason. Although the green jade slip contained the sword technique, However, there were no divine abilities. When fighting with others, only with the combination of divine abilities and sword techniques could the power of the flying sword reach its peak. Now that it was missing a link, it was like it was crippled.
However, Shaoqing allowed him to read the Ancestral Master's legacy because he owed Sect Master Qin a favor. He could not ask for more.
Furthermore. It was not so easy to cultivate the Shaoqing divine power. It needed to be matched with the cultivation method. The fundamental cultivation method that he cultivated was the Five Directions Five Elements Supreme Mystery True Technique. It was not on the same path, so it was impossible for him to divert his attention to cultivate other cultivation methods. As a result, he could not walk the proper path of a Shaoqing disciple.
With these thoughts in mind, he started to think. How should he unleash the greatest power of this Sword Transformation Technique in his own hands?
Now that he had a hundred and eight Sword Transformation Techniques, it was impossible for him to create more sword lights in a short period of time. This was something that he had to slowly train with his cultivation method. Even if he had deduced the technique, he would not be able to do it without cultivating for hundreds of years.
As for the Dao of Sword Formation, it was rather suitable for him.
He was rather proficient in the Dao of Formation. Even if he did not have the Sword Escape Technique, he still had the Minor Heavens Movement Escape Technique and the Five Elements Escape Technique. He would not be limited to one place.
However, after thinking about it again, he realized that it was too limited. He did not need to use the sword to achieve his Dao, so he did not have to consider many things that he had to avoid. It was fine as long as he could increase his combat power. So why not try to use the strengths of both?
As for whether he could still create thousands of swords in the future, there was no need to think about it now. If he had the opportunity, he would naturally succeed. If not, it was fine.
After deciding on the path he wanted to take, he was about to practice the spell when outside the door, Jing You said with joy, "Master, Tian Dalang has cultivated to Yuanying and came out. He's waiting outside with Miss Wang. They're about to pay their respects to Master."
Zhang Yan was slightly surprised and immediately said, "Quickly call the two of them in."
Footsteps could be heard from outside. Tian Kun and Wang Caiting came in together and knelt down respectfully in front of the bed. He kowtowed and said, "Disciple greets Master."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Quickly get up."
Tian Kun bowed again before standing up.
Zhang Yan looked up and down a few times and nodded his head. In terms of cultivation foundation, this second disciple was undoubtedly the most stable. He followed Gui Congyao's guidance and even though his cultivation level was slightly slower now, his future achievements were limitless.
Moreover, there was another disciple in the sect who achieved Nascent Soul. They had more confidence in dealing with the Devil's Doctrine thirty years later.
After the three of them talked for a while, Tian Kun suddenly said, "Just Now on the way here, disciple heard from Caiting that Master is currently suffering from a lack of manpower to deal with the Devil's Calamity. As the second disciple in the sect, disciple is willing to share Master's burden."
Zhang Yan said with a smile, "I am very pleased that you have this intention. However, you have rarely fought with others since you started cultivating. Now that you have just achieved Yuanying, I can't just let you go like this. You need to hone yourself."
Tian Kun bowed and said, "Disciple will listen to Master's arrangements."
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment before picking up his brush and writing a letter. Then, he handed it to him and said, "Take this letter and go to Pengyuan Sect to find your junior brother Jiang Zheng. When you get there, you will know what to do."
At the moment, there were very few demonic cultivators around Qincang School, but there were still many on the East Sea. Although he had killed one person last time, most of them had escaped with their lives. It was said that an elder of the Blood Soul Sect had returned to the sea and was still staring at Pengyuan Sect.
However, this sect had Elder Mu, a Yuanying cultivator, and could barely deal with it. There was only one opponent. He was neither strong nor weak, but he was the most suitable opponent for Tian Kun.
Tian Kun had no objections and went forward to receive the letter.
Wang Caiting said, "Master, can disciple go with Senior Brother?"
Zhang Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will allow it. However, when you are in another sect, you cannot use your identity as a disciple of Qincang to do whatever you want."
Tian Kun said in a deep voice, "Master, don't worry. Disciple will watch over junior sister."
When Wang Caiting heard this, she glared at him unhappily and curled her lips. "I'm not afraid that you will suffer a loss. You don't know how to appreciate my kindness."
Two hundred miles away from Green Ox Mountain, Linqing Monastery, Spirit Cave of Turbid Yin.
Three thousand feet underground. Zhao Yang shouted and shook his body. A wave of smoke that was as black as ink rose behind him. More than sixty ferocious demon heads flew out and bit back and forth in the surroundings. After swallowing more than a hundred Yin Demons, their momentum stopped. He made another hand seal, and with a roar, they returned to the smoke.
He inhaled lightly, and the smoke returned to his body through his mouth and nose, then returned to the golden core in his abdomen. He felt that there was a slight increase in his cultivation in his body. He was very satisfied and thought to himself, "No wonder the cultivators of the Demon Sect can't leave the spirit cave. If I can cultivate here for a hundred years, I will definitely be able to reach the third stage. Even my methods will not lose to others."
He cultivated here for thirty years, and his strength increased rapidly. He refined another sixty-five demon heads. He felt that if he met the cultivator of the Yuan Shen Sect again, he would not let him escape so easily.
However, he did not know that before the Devil Calamity, there were not enough demon heads in the Demon Caves of the six major Demon Sects. Those disciples who were not direct descendants could only go to the outside world to kill demon cultivators. Occasionally, they would find the cultivators of the Celestial Sect. How could they be like him, who could monopolize a spirit cave? He swallowed and refined the demon heads without restraint.
According to his previous plan, he would cultivate here for a few years. After he had a method to prevent people from spying on his mind, he would go to the Netherspring Sect. But now that he had tasted the sweetness, he did not want to leave.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange spirit. His expression changed, thinking that it was a disciple of Linqing Monastery coming here.
This situation had happened several times before. After all, he cultivated the cultivation method of the Demon Sect, so he did not want to meet them face to face. He used the Yellow Springs Escape Technique and flashed into the stone wall on the side.
After a while, he saw a flash of smoke, and then a cultivator in white landed on the stone that Just Now was sitting on. His eyes flashed, and his nose twitched. He was a little puzzled, hesitated, and asked tentatively, "May I ask which fellow daoist is here?"
He called out a few times, but Zhao Yang did not respond.
The cultivator turned around on the spot, and after a while, he suddenly stood up and turned into a black smoke, escaping downwards.
Zhao Yang thought for a while, then came out of his hiding place and quietly followed.
However, not long after he left, a puff of smoke came out from the stone not far away. Then, the white-robed cultivator appeared again. He stared at Zhao Yang's departing figure, narrowed his eyes, and leaped out, following behind him.
After Zhao Yang chased for a few miles, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He felt that the smoke in front of him was a little strange. It was stiff and stiff, and did not seem to be controlled by someone. As soon as this thought appeared, he immediately became vigilant, and his figure stopped.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, "I am Qu Jingong of Huncheng Sect. May I ask if fellow daoist is from the Netherspring Sect?"
Zhao Yang suddenly turned around, but did not see a figure. The voice came from behind again, "Fellow daoist, you must have just started your cultivation. Next time, you need to be careful. If you meet someone from the Daoist Sect, you might have already lost your life."
Zhao Yang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and slowly turned half his body sideways. The other party did not hide again, but stood there and cupped his hands at him, saying, "Greetings, fellow daoist."
Zhao Yang returned the salute, and said, "Netherspring Sect … Zhao De, may I know what method fellow daoist is using Just Now?"
Qu Jingong laughed, "This is the magical power of our Huncheng Sect, 'Moving Forward and Backward'. Fellow daoist, have you heard of it?"
Zhao Yang then remembered that Zhang Boyan had mentioned this magical power. This method only needed to release a ball of essence nearby, and the cultivator of Huncheng Sect could use it to move forward and backward within a certain distance, making it impossible for others to find a trace.
But hearing about it was not as good as seeing it with one's own eyes. Now that he had understood the power of this magical power, if he had really been hostile to him, he was afraid that he would have lost his life.
He recalled that he had been led by the nose since the beginning. If he did not recklessly chase after them, but first took a look, then he might not have been fooled. This was a loss due to his lack of experience. Even if his cultivation was a few notches higher, he would still have fallen into the trap.
At this moment, he made up his mind that he could no longer peacefully cultivate here. He had to go out and have a good experience.
